Here’s everything you need to know about Sky Sports+ including how to watch your EFL team this season…
Sky Sports+ is live and already integrated into Sky TV, streaming service NOW and the Sky Sports app - giving Sky Sports customers access to over 50 per cent more live sport this year at no extra cost.
With the capability to show up to 100 live events via concurrent streams, Sky Sports+ makes it easier for fans to find and watch their team.
The EFL is at the heart of Sky Sports+ coverage and will see over 1,000 games from the Championship, League One and League Two shown live throughout the season, while every Carabao Cup fixture will also be broadcasted.
It's not just football that Sky Sports+ will show. Rugby league fans will be able to watch every single match from the Super League while tennis fans can enjoy coverage from the ATP and WTA Tours and the final grand slam of the year, the US Open from August 26 to September 9.
Every League One and League Two team will be featured live on Sky at least 20 times next season.
And every one of the 24 Championship clubs will be live on Sky at least 24 times.
Matches will be broadcast live across existing Sky Sports channels or on the brand new Sky Sports+.
No!
Customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won't need to do a thing.
Once live, Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW.
Sign in to the Sky Sports app to watch your team on your mobile device, with Sky Sports+ streams accessible directly from the app.

Each full weekend of EFL fixtures will see 10 live matches shown - including three Championship, two League One and two League Two matches all broadcast live at 12:30pm on Saturdays.
All opening weekend, final day, and midweek fixtures in the EFL will be shown live, as will all games played on Bank Holidays including Easter, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
The matches played in League One and League Two during international breaks will also be available live.
For the first time ever, fans will be also able to watch every match from the Carabao Cup and Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
While some matches will be rescheduled for broadcast purposes, the majority of fixtures won't be moved.
Sky Sports has already announced the Sky Bet EFL fixtures to be shown live on Sky Sports and Sky Sports+ until January, with every EFL club featuring multiple times.
The blocked broadcast period - frequently referred to as 'Article 48' - between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons, will remain, meaning that main broadcast fixtures will be scheduled for outside of this time.
From the 2024/25 season onward, this will effectively replace the EFL's domestic video streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services.
